By learning how a kite flies, the students will learn about the power of the wind, mainly how drag, lift, and gravity enable objects such as kites and airplanes to fly. This knowledge will be used to help design a kite that flies.
"The goal of this activity is to inspire curiosity and teach children to embrace challenges—it shows them that they can learn from their mistakes and that it's all good stuff!" After all, making a kite isn't exactly easy, and flight isn't guaranteed.
So, while kites may seem like simple toys, they can be beneficial in several ways, from promoting physical activity and mental health to serving as educational tools and symbols of cultural heritage.

At the same time, it includes suggestions that can be applied to people of all ages and various levels of schooling, from preschool through retirement. The kiting world has changed over the years.
